There is also a third personality in play that the original two weren't
aware of. This was probably their best episode yet. It is also my
understanding that within the MCU the Black Panther Gods and the
Egyptian Gods are linked. I was hoping to explicitly see a Black
Panther God at that meeting. Maybe there was one. One of the Avatars
spoke with what sounded like a Wakandan accent. But I wasn't sure.

I watched:

The Avengers (4K disc) The first movie from 2012. I did not originally
have plans to watch this, but I very recently upgraded a bunch of the
MCU movies to 4K (shocking, I didn't already own them all in 4K), and
figured I'd squeeze a couple in before Doctor Strange. Well, this held
up *great* and in 4K with Dolby Atmos it looked and sounded outstanding.
Now I'm going to have to revisit a lot more than a couple before I get
to Doctor Strange...

This Is Us - I caught up on the last two episodes the other day. I
really don't care much anymore. I'm just going through the motions
waiting for the finale.

Law & Order - "Free Speech" - I also caught this the other day. There
is already a separate thread discussing how ridiculous it is that the DA
can introduce a new piece of video evidence in the middle of trial
without letting the other side see it first. When the DA said he was
caught by surprise and hadn't planned on showing the video, the judge
should have asked then why is the video cued up and ready to go!

I saw. Thanks. I have been circling around buying those two on blu-ray
since they were released a couple of years ago. I am so glad I didn't
bite. Now I'll add them to my 4K collection.

This is as good a time as any to mention that The Wonderful World of the
Brothers Grimm blu-ray just came out. I haven't picked it up yet, but
I'm thinking about it.
